Ingredients

2 stalks of celery, diced small

2 pounds of Italian Sausage – casings removed

I'm a southern girl, but didn't grow up eating a lot of cornbread because my parents were northerners and never really ate it. When I became an adult I tried it in different varieties and have found a few recipes I really enjoy. I looked forward to trying these cornbread crisps from Farmer's Pantry.

I got to try 3 flavors: honey butter, original, and jalapeño. I didn't expect for jalapeño to be my favorite because I'm not a fan of jalapeños, but this was really good. There wasn't much of a kick, so don't expect spicy. The jalapeños just seemed to add a unique flavor that the other two flavors didn't have, causing me to gravitate toward that flavor more when enjoying Farmer's Pantry for a snack.

I liked the honey butter favor too. It gave a sweet flavor and almost reminded me of sweet cornbread. I think if I could have warmed these crisps up, the flavor to sweet cornbread would have been spot on. I also enjoyed the original flavor too. It was slightly salty, but not like when eating chips.

I liked these crisps. The texture and thickness. Perfect for snacking on when you want something crunchy but could also be used with a favorite dip.
